Got-Boost? Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Anything catch your eye or what are you planning to get next? I've been out looking at a little of everything and wondering if I'm missing anything. It's going to be a DD so not looking for anything crazy but would like something fun. So far I'm interested in... 2017 Golf R http://i60.tinypic.com/jruziu.jpg 2017 FOCUS RS (interior is pretty cheesy though) Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel http://o.aolcdn.com/dims-global/dims3/GLOB/legacy_thumbnail/750x422/quality/95/http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2013/02/01-2014-jeep-grand-cherokee-ecodiesel-fd.jpg 2017 Camaro 2SS (not really on my list but looking) http://www.torquenews.com/sites/default/files/image-106/50th_anniversary_camaro_0.jpg Looking for something that gets 28-30mpg+ HWY and a little fun. Would like to stay in the $40k-ish range or less. It doesn't have to be new but would prefer something reliable with a great warranty to go along with it. Just bored and looking, figured maybe if you're bored you could help... :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigOxley Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 This VW "recall" is a mandatory either or, correct? If you keep it you are required to get it fixed or you have to sell it back? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted July 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Nope, keeping our 14 Passat. I thought so also but doesn't make sense to get $7k when they're paying me $28k for it. 2013-15 Audi all road 2014-15 BMW 328d Xdrive Sportwagon 2013-2016 Lexus CT200h F sport in ultra sonic blue 2014-2015 Lexus ES300 2013-2015 Toyota 4runner TRD PRO Maby something VW if VW offers money off to keep VW but nothing else really appeals to me. 328d...hmmm... This VW "recall" is a mandatory either or, correct? If you keep it you are required to get it fixed or you have to sell it back? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Nothing official but it sounds like it. Unless you don't want any money than keep driving it like it is. You can't get money until it's repaired..

Brandon Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 so crazy idea... What if you go and buy one of these at a good "used" price based on the trade in buy back calculator...make a few bucks potentially? Just thinking out loud.

BIGGU Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 you wont be able to, to get the buy back or mod money you must have owned the car pre september 28, 2015. after that vw will just say sorry, you took advantage of the low cost and require you to get the modifications at no charge to you. I know a few people that went out and bought 2-3 of these and they have just been sitting on them since. I laugh knowing they are not going to get crap hah.

Not to derail the what would you "buy" part of the thread, but what do they really want you to "fix", in a cliff note version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got-Boost? Posted July 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Late model Panamera turbo. Didn't realize value was that bad on them, down in the $40k's already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lag wagon Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Yup... 328d, X5 xDrive35d are on my list. The alternative I'm thinking of is to drive a beater until the Tesla 3 comes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buteo Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Didn't realize value was that bad on them, down in the $40k's already? High 40s/low 50s. I'll grab one off auction with the burmester- one of the best sounding OEM systems out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got-Boost? Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I may want the AWD sooner than I though so leaning more towards the "R"... Just can't decide on the Limestone Gray or Lapiz Blue??? http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1680&stc=1&d=1398956728 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Blue, always chose a color over grey scale.

Blue if you want people to know right away you have an R, grey if like more of the sleeper look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versluis Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Limestone looks great in the sun. Blue does as well and I think it is a little darker than what photos show. To me, the blue is the original color of the R32. Don't think it is the same as the MKIV or MKV but still nice. Too bad the US models do not get those wheels, but with some spacers and VWR springs the stock wheels look decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyctsv Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 If only you could get the exterior of the RS with the interior of the R. The VW Golf R is an amazing vehicle but sooooo boring looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
